Property History
The original residence was built circa 1775 and the larger stone portion was built circa 1800 for John G. Ackerson (1745-1838). He lived there with his family and conducted business from it. The property consisted of 348 acres, and included an orchard. The trading post, which was located directly across the home on Main Street, is gone, but the main house still stands. The traditional Dutch stone farmhouse is still one of Park Ridge’s prominent homes. There has been some modernization since its original pioneer days, but it maintains its old world charm. The historic fireplace mantel and pine floors have been restored, but the original hand-hewn support beams have never been touched, and still run throughout the house. The John G. Ackerson home is a testament to time and history in Park Ridge.
 
Property Description
Welcome to this stately Dutch Colonial, originally built in 1773 and thoughtfully updated to blend timeless character with modern comfort. With four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, including a beautifully remodeled primary ensuite, this home offers both space and sophistication. Highlights include a banquet-sized dining room, a modern eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and rich period details such as hand-hewn beams, pumpkin pine floors, thick red sandstone walls, Dutch doors, and two fireplaces that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Ample closets throughout. Recent updates—new roof (2023), wine cellar, updated mechanicals, and new driveway (2024)—enhance the home’s appeal. A detached two-car garage with a spacious loft ideal for storage. Set on two-thirds of an acre, the grounds are equally captivating, with fruit trees, flowering wisteria, patios for entertaining, and a south-facing porch perfect for enjoying the changing seasons. Ideally located just a short stroll to Park Ridge town center, schools, dining, shops, and trains to Manhattan, this home offers a rare balance of historic charm and modern convenience.
